The NYAA is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit youth sports organization serving the Northwestern Lehigh School District area, providing educational athletic opportunities that range from recreational to competitive for pre-school through high school aged boy

NYAA Volleyball operates as a year-round program for both boys and girls with 3 separate seasons:

The Winter Season runs for ten weeks, from the beginning of December through February. Practice is held twice during the week (exluding holidays, or when the facilities are unavailable). Registration fee: $40 and includes a T-Shirt.

The Spring Season runs from roughly March to mid April and is solely recreation based. The groups meet once or twice per week for practice and play. This is great way to get introduced to volleyball without the commitment of a full season. Registration fee: $25.
